À propos de ce titre

Prix Goncourt 2004.

Parce qu'un viol a fondé leur lignée, les Scorta sont nés dans l'opprobre. À Montepuccio, leur petit village d'Italie du sud, ils vivent pauvrement, et ne mourront pas riches. Mais ils ont fait vœu de se transmettre, de génération en génération, le peu que la vie leur laisserait en héritage.

Avis des membres:

Backwoods village in southern France approaches the 21st Century

In haste, consider this if you want a history of out-of-the-loop France.

If you enjoyed Max Gallo's series which began with La Baie des Anges (history of Nice)

you'll like this even better, although it's not as made-for-tv as the B des A now seems to me.

Convolutions, family secrets, hard work, worldly realities crafted together with literary genius (it DID win the Prix Goncourt)make this a work qui vaut la peine d'tre lu au moins deux fois.

The only thing wrong with the 'beautiful edition' is it's shape, literally-- taller and thinner than the standard paperback (with a fabulous cover)

Four Stars

très bien écrit; n'a pas reu le prix Goncourt pour rien

Five Stars

Résumé de l'éditeur:

La verve abrupte de Virginie Despentes pour des croquis dévastateurs d'un monde qu'on côtoie sans vraiment le voir...

Revues par les critiques:

La presse en parle :

"Une comédie humaine d'aujourd'hui dont Balzac pourrait bien se délecter dans sa tombe."

Pierre Vavasseur, Le Parisien

"Comment fait-elle, Virginie Despentes, pour écrire autant de vies avec autant langues, de destinées, de soubresauts, d'arrêts brutaux ou d'espérances folles ? L'eau fraîche, les odeurs, les parfums, les musiques, les psaumes de la nuit ne lui échappent jamais. Les sexes dans les pantalons, les désirs dans les vêtements, les crises, les doutes, tout chez Despentes vient comme une évidence."

Marc Lavoine, Libération

Avis des membres:

La génération intermédiaire

Roman bouleversant en deux tomes qui parle en profondeur du sort de la génération qui m'a succédé et qui, à son tour, a perdu le controle. Sur tout. Je n'aime pas la solution qui est proposée, i.e. s'organiser en secte autour du Vide.

Publisher's Summary:

A crime novel that's perfect for fans of Peter James or Peter Robinson.

If you look him in the eye, you're dead. From the outside, Robert Naysmith is a successful businessman, handsome and charming. But for years he's been playing a deadly game. He doesn't choose his victims. Each is selected at random - the first person to make eye contact after he begins 'the game' will not have long to live. Their fate is sealed.

When the body of a young woman is found on Severn Beach, Detective Inspector Harland is assigned the case. It's only when he links it to an unsolved murder in Oxford that the police begin to guess at the awful scale of the crimes. But how do you find a killer who strikes without motive?

Critic Reviews:

"A chilling game of cat and mouse that should keep you awake long after bedtime. DI Harland is a welcome addition to the growing ranks of British detectives." (Peter Robinson)

Members Reviews:

Long on story short on plot.

Seriously weak. Not a detective story nor a thriller. Great idea badly executed. Nothing to recommend it other than the outline concept.

Not all that

The story was slow and boring. I was very diappointed. Too much time on the choosing of the victims and the antagonist He did not come across as a charismatic person. None of the characters were well developed.

A god one

For starters this book is British, my favorite. The story is unusual and very well plotted. zThe characters are well drawn, the reader is unusually good, the ending is.... I will leave itthat to you. Not viole,lent, not bloody - somerhing I Appreciate :-)

Page Tuner

Enjoyed the thrill of the chase, kept me wondering every chapter, how on earth could this careful killer be caught?

I hope you will like the book as much as I did.

Already downloaded the next book in the series.

PS. The narrator is quite good too.

Members Reviews:

Ralph W.

Would you consider the audio edition of Thanksgiving Breakfast to be better than the print version?

I have read the book and enjoyed the audio version even more, to me it seemed warmer. When I read the book, I was interested in the story line, listening I am relaxing enjoying the story so much more,

Who was your favorite character and why?

Alex Flynn was my favorite, he was the main character and expressed his feelings the best.

Which character as performed by the narrators was your favorite?

Johnny Thompson was the funniest of the characters, and also the most honest.

Who was the most memorable character of Thanksgiving Breakfast and why?

Tommy's discrimination of his Vietnam experience was the most memorable for me. It was quite emotional. He hit the nail on the head.

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed this book so much, II grew up in a different part of the country, as a Baby Boomer myself i experienced many of the feelings, and had some friends like the ones in the book. But most of all I enjoyed recalling some of the good times of my youth.

Critic Reviews:

"Among the dross that constitutes the Liverpool saga market for women, Howard's enjoyable 19th-century historical romance of crossed love shines out. (Daily Mail)

"Poignant and well plotted, this is the book to curl up with to shut out troubles." (Woman's Realm on Beyond the Shining Water)

"Her thousands of fans recognise the artistry of a true storyteller." (Lancashire Life) "Life and middle class living in Liverpool in the early 1900's is the colourful backcloth for the latest novel from this master storyteller." (Coventry Evening Telegraph)

"This saga is, like all of Audrey Howard's books, compelling and memorable...a joy to read." (The Historical Novels Review, A Place Called Hope)

Members Reviews:

Original and beautifully told

This book was definitely one of the most original stories, and so well woven into modern music that it is believable. Mitch Album is quite the storyteller. It is such a gift and a pleasure to listen to.

Magic indeed; totally enchanting.

If ever an audiobok was made just for me this is the one. It has elements of fantasy, a love for music in general and guitar-music in particular just streams out of it.

The story of a young penniless Spanish kid who is brought up during the Spanish Civil War and is taught guitar (in all styles) by a blind master. The boy then travels to the USA, becomes a master musician himself and contrives to get involved with Duke Ellington, Elvis, The Beatles and countless other musical icons. Beautifully written & lovingly narrated by an ensemble of readers, some of whom are real life musicians (Jim McGuin of the Byrds etc) who feature in the story itself.

A moving story that absolutely hits the sweet-spot dead-centre for me (a 59 year-old still struggling to play very basic guitar but persevering none-the-less).

A bonus is that there is a soundtrack album out too, or just access the Spotify playlist via the author's website - you can hear many of the tunes that feature in the story, including some stunningly lovely Spanish guitar.

I tend to be enthusiastic about the books I review - this one is extra special and heartily recommended.

Wonderful Listen - highly recommended

A very unusual book but one that music lovers will enjoy. The story is told by 'music' himself and at times it is hard not to believe that Frankie is a real artist as he touches the lives of real musicians. The fantasy elements take the story to another level.

"Everyone joins a band in this life". Readers of this book are one such band. Enjoy it.

He does it again!

There was absolutely nothing I disliked about this book.

Mitch albom is amazing!!

Even better because it was narrated by the man himself

another brilliant Mitch Albom story

lovely story about a talented man's tumultuous life. Told by the talent of Music. sounds strange but is beautifully crafted, the book sings a song to the reader as the man's life moves through different stages. the reader is well matched to the story and is very easy to listen to, and the voices of the famous musicians are an added bonus to this lovely book

Title: The World Without Us

Author: Mireille Juchau

Narrator: Jennifer Vuletic

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 48 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-04-15

Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd

Ratings: 2 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

An atmospheric, elegiac and gripping novel, The World Without Us is a beautifully told story of secrets and survival, family and community, loss and renewal.

It has been six months since Tess Müller stopped speaking. Her silence is baffling to her parents, her teachers and her younger sister, but the more urgent mystery for both girls is where their mother, Evangeline, goes each day, pushing an empty pram and returning home wet, muddy and dishevelled. Their father, struggling with his own losses, tends to his apiary and tries to understand why his bees are disappearing. But after he discovers a car wreck and human remains on their farm, old secrets emerge to threaten the fragile family.

One day Tess teacher, Jim, encounters Evangeline by the wild Repentance River. Jim is in flight from his own troubles in Sydney, and Evangeline, raised in a mountain commune and bearing the scars of the fire that destroyed it, is a puzzle he longs to solve. As the rainforest trees are felled and the lakes fill with runoff from the expanding mines, Tess watches the landscape of her family undergo shifts of its own. A storm is coming, and the Müllers are in its path.

Critic Reviews:

"A bright, bracing marvel of a book." (The Australian)

"The World Without Us is an impressive, memorable novel, the work of a writer in command of her craft." (The Sydney Morning Herald)

"Set in Australia, the novel shimmers, thanks to Jennifer Vuletic's narration.
